1) Definitely Psilocybe, I think these might even be P. baeocystis!2) Panaeolus cinctulus or olivaceous. Might be Panaeolina (inactive) if there is brown in the spore print.3) deadly Pholiotina or Galerina I think. I need to get better at these west coast species!

Agree'd. #1 is most likely P. baeocystis.#2 is most likely not a Panaeolus sp though, look at all those brown spores in the print! They are indeed dark spores, but black spores are BLACK.#3 is a Galerina sp. Most likely Galerina autumnalis.

Quote:suchen said: I couldn't tell if the brown in the spore print was from the very yellow/warm lighting or not. Thanks!

Just offering my 2cents. You covered yourself well by adding that it could be aPanaeolina sp, and for the OP to check the spores.

The most important thing to learn in identifying mushrooms for others, is the ability to say "it looks like" or "it could be" versus "yep, its that one for sure". The latter of which can be dangerous, unless there is enough evidence for you to be 100% sure. Don't think I am lecturing you or correcting you...You're doing a great job and your help is greatly appreciated around here. I am just saying this stuff so others can learn from this as well

nb4idtaken,I went back to my patch today and got some photos of the remaining fruit bodies. Keep in mind, my caps were picked 5 days ago and the other fruitbodies looked much better when I was there then. The decaying process is very quick with these guys!Found in a patch of bark, in a small residential park with playground. Fairly established(10 years old).

These Baeo's were found less than 15 feet away from whatever species #3 was. I never bothered with a spore print with #3 too.
